* connecting via ssh @ Bruce Noblick ` Tyler Littlefield ` Tony Baechler 0 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Bruce Noblick @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup info This may be a very basic question but I haven't figured out how to get ssh to connect with my linux box. I tried to get my ip address but the information I got seemed to be only valid for the local machine. I have a router to which all of my computers are connected so I thought my addresses should be on a 192.168.1 subnetwork but the only addresses I saw were on a 127.0 subnetwork. I used to know how to get this information for my windows box but I have recycled a large number of brain cells since then and don't even remember how to do that right now. Would I be able to just use a hostname? As a footnote, I have given hostnames of trashcan, paperweight and boatanchor to my computers. So what I am trying to do is connect my paperweight to my trashcan, grin. As mentioned in the discussions earlier, I found a teraterm program and thought I was telling it the right stuff but the closest I got was a "connection refused" message from one address. All other guesses timed out. Thanks much. Bruce Noblick ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I have a router to which all of my computers are connected so I thought my addresses should be on a 192.168.1 subnetwork but the only addresses I saw were on a 127.0 subnetwork. > Is your router using dhcp? In other words, do you have the dhcp server in your router turned on? Also, what does "ifconfig" and "/etc/network/interfaces" say? The "ifconfig" command should show you your address, gateway and netmask. /etc/network/interfaces has this information for automatic setup on boot. By default, you're probably trying to use dhcp. The good thing is that you're almost guaranteed that you'll get a valid ip address assuming your router is working and provides a dhcp server. The bad thing is that the address could change every time, making it difficult to find what address it uses. For example, our Linksys router assigns dhcp addresses starting at 192.168.0.100. If I connect from different machines with dhcp, my address might be 192.168.0.103 or anything between 100 and 149. That's why static addresses are better, but they require manual setup. If you look at /etc/network/interfaces, it probably says something about dhcp. I suggest reading the interfaces (5) man page or I can send you a sample of mine. Then it's just a matter of connecting to the static address you assign, such as 192.168.1.5 or whatever via ssh. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
* Re: connecting via ssh ` Tony Baechler @ ` Bruce Noblick ` Kerry Hoath 0 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Bruce Noblick @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Thanks, Tony, I was able to get the static IP address working. Thankfully my years of experience on mainframes with front end processors controlling their network came in handy for something, grin, even though it has no other current relevance. I am using ubuntu which says that it is "debian-derived" or something like that so I thought I would try the aptitude -q command you suggested and it did run and it appeared to be functional. I got lost in the maze of categories of packages and names of packages and haven't yet found the openssh-server package. I wasn't sure if that was the best approach with ubuntu either so I wanted to confirm that here before I allowed it to do any updates or downloads. I didn't have a good recovery plan if things went weird since I don't know linux very well yet. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy the day!
